what someone with a “normal” body eats in a week | how I feel good in my body + stopped overeating

you have no idea how much i needed this video. something bad and scary happened over the weekend and i've really been heading towards relapsing because of it. staying strong was becoming impossible, but this video came as the perfect reminder to never go back down that path of misery. what you do is incredible, linda, and we as your supporters can never thank you enough ❤️

Girl I can’t thank you enough for making this, I’m a 14 yr old girl and you are such a massive help of knocking me out of a toxic cycle

I’m 56…when I was a teenager, a friend’s mom referred to my thighs as elephant trunks…fast forward to now and I thank God that I was blessed with strong, athletic legs that enabled me to play sports all my life, run for 25 years and continue to hike mountains across the world. My piece of advice…don’t let anyone define who you are or control your mind.

Hi Linda! I'm usually not a commenter but I really wanted to thank you for your content. I've just committed to full recovery from my own food issues and one of my biggest inspirations to get better was you. Sharing all the love from a fellow peanut butter enthusiast <3 <3 <3

I needed this video. As a Muslim, when someone does something good for me, I pray for them sincerely. Here is my prayer for you. May God bless you. May you find joy and fulfillment. May good friends surround you and love you every day. May all your worries and insecurities fade away like dust blowing off with the wind. May you continue to find the strength it takes to make such content with such beautiful messaging. I NEEDED this Linda. Thank you. Thank you Thank you for making this video. Thank you for existing. I have been living through a VERY hard time in my life over the past few month. It's been challenging every which way. And to make it worse, parts of my body are injured. And parts are sick. And I keep trying my best everyday to keep going. But it has been HARD. Mentally. PHYSICALLY. It is a difficult time. Some of the things you said in this video resonated so much with me. By the end of the video, I'm bawling. Thank you for making this video, and all your other work. Thank you for being vulnerable. Your work and presence on this Earth is loved and needed by SO many right now. May you always be at peace. Ameen

Linda I find it amazing how you are able to take all our thoughts and actually verbalize it to us to help us see how ridiculous our insecurities and worries may actually seem

I love how you and your mom make the same facial expressions when eating yummy food. It's sooo cute!

if only there are more of Linda out in the world to spread the correct message

I’ve been suffering from an eating disorder for months now and this video girl… it’s a pearl ❤ thank you for what you do, your kindness and your love.

I cried within the first 10 seconds of this video, really needed this after returning from deployment and having 5 weeks off and seeing stereotypical gym girls for the first time in 4 months. Your struggle is one we've all shared and I'm so happy to see you in a much better mindset. Love yourself as much as we love you Linda. Much love from me to you x

To everyone reading this, YOU CAN DO THIS, i know its hard & i know some days you may want to go back but stay strong because recovery IS WORTH IT!!!!! LOVE UUUUUUU

This is the video that changed my life, i wasnt even being dramatic or exaggerating when i said this cus i meant it. Your words stabbed right into my heart (idk if that makes sense- sorry) but its like a wake up call for me, to realize that my body is enough and it doesnt need to be in a certain shape or weight. as long as it functioning and healthy to keep me alive and do my daily life its enough. no matter what other people has to say about my body, its enough. Thank you so much linda for existing and for all the things youve done for yourself, me, and everyone. 😢🥺😭💗✨️

This video seriously helped me so much Linda you have no idea. Although you probably will never read this comment I will say it anyway: the messages you deliver are incredible. The message at the beginning hit especially hard. I think nowadays we forget vey easy that normal people don’t post their bodies, don’t track everything they eat, don’t eat only ‘clean’ and actually listen to their bodies, eat when they are hungry, eat what they want, don’t track en don’t workout every day. I think it is so easy to get the idea that we have to be a certain way when we see other people on social media being like this, but this population is like 2% of te world population and not the average person. This video really was an eye opener for me and you help me so much in my recovery to get an idea of what ‘normal’ ACTUALLY is!

Love you Linda! You are an angel! Thank you so much for existing and helping us all feel heard and less lonely, going through life together 🤍✨

my brainy has been so cloudy and sad and not very kind to me lately. i tried to tell myself that im doing fine. that there is nothing wrong with my body. that there is nothing wrong with eating and enjoying food. that their body is not better than mine. but its been hard! so rewatching this has been helpful ❤ sometimes i just need to hear someone else’s voice telling me that hey, you’re doing just fine.

You have no idea how much you have helped me in my healing journey. You deserve all of the peanut butter in the world <3

Thank you, Linda. You've got me feeling emotional now. I've been telling myself over the last little while that I will do anything to lose weight, and go to any lengths, no matter how damaging to my mental/physical health to look a certain way. I feel so unhappy, counting calories and exercising to look a certain way. I end up in a ball of tears in bed at the end of the day, just so miserable. Life isn't all about what I look like. I need to change my perspective from hatred of the way my body looks to love for all it has done and will do for me, focusing on feeling my best rather than looking a certain way. Keep doing what you're doing, I needed this reminder today.

You’re amazing, Linda! This is exactly the kind of content we need MORE of on social media which is otherwise filled with fabricated and unattainable bodies. Thank you for being so transparent about your experience and for uplifting others! 🥰

Thank you for all your videos! I'm very grateful to have found you. I've suffered with ED for almost 10 years now but just recently started to recover fully and I know watching your videos played a huge part in it. I've cried so many times watching you just because of how happy I am that there is someone like you out there. Thank you, Linda!

thank you linda, you’re such a kind hearted person. you make me aspire to become better, mentally and physically, and bring so much comfort whenever i’m feeling down. hope you can always be happy for the rest of your life, you are so loved !!!
